I grew up calling it gvickel d craut, but everyone else said it hlishes which I never heard of. Is the gvickel d craut Polish yiddish and holishkes another yiddish, like Russian or Lithuanian?

Re Margarine
Kosher food stores sell pareve margarine, alternatively you can use olive oil which goes well with the sauce.

explanation
I like this recipe but the "freezing" method of prepping the cabbage should be explained, which is freeze the cabbage for a few days ahead of time, then defrost for a day on the counter...the leaves peel off so easily and no boiling dangerous water needed! Also, I have switched to baking the stuffed cabbage for a few hours at 325...much easier! Finally, we call these "gvikle d'kraut" which is the yiddish word. Holishkes is another name.3
